A very chilling (a little too chilling at times), emotional and overall solid record. Thom Yorke's beautiful yet troubled vocals are amazing and this is definitely my favourite Radiohead release by a long shot. The electronica influence is portrayed fantastically and the sheer ambience of some tracks are blissful to listen to. It is definitely not without it's flaws; some songs go on too long, same ideas used over and over, similar synth sounds throughout, a little too "whiny" now and then. But overall, Kid A is a great release and very enjoyable.

Kid A is an album that I had a premeditated bias against. Electronic music (or really any music with heavy electronic elements) tends to be a genre I don't like. Knowing that this album was a heavy shift in such a direction I figured it would fail in comparison to it's masterpiece of a predecessor.

This was not the case with Kid A. I instantly was hooked on this album's emotional component and musical spontaneity. I have always felt the best albums can be appreciated by anyone regardless of the person's genre preference. Kid A has proven itself to be, in that regard, a truly transcendent work.

@fourMinerz How are they the only songs that stand out, have you not heard, "How To Disappear Completely" or "Optimistic"? Those songs are as good as any on the album. Kid A is also lovely and The National Anthem is just so cool!
